If they are the same price go with the 9700.So i wanna upgrade to one of these cpus but what one would have better longevity?
This isnt true. The best rule of thumb is when buying a new PC buy the best available. The 9900k and 2080ti been out for a while and its far from obsolete. Even the 8700k/ 1080ti has great value now. Do you want more info ? How about 6700k and 7700k ?? They are still great Chips even with 980ti is still on par with a 1070. These are great 1080p and 1440p combos.If they are the same price go with the 9700.
Longevity?......whatever you buy today will be obsolete tomorrow.
Whatever you buy today will get pushed down the perf ladder with the next gen of parts.This isnt true. The best rule of thumb is when buying a new PC buy the best available.

Obsolete is/are Beepers, video stores , any cashierWhatever you buy today will get pushed down the perf ladder with the next gen of parts.
That's not to say what you bought today won't still work it may just not work as well as the new gen.
For the folks that want the best of the best it's a never ending upgrade cycle because today's parts have become obsolete.
I wouldnt go with either. The 9700k is a horrible CPU. I remember back when ever one was like " all you need is a I5 for gaming"
You are limiting yourself to a to the a inferior CPU when he could go with the I9 and get the most out of his current set up with out changing the board. The 9700k is a glorified quad core which is still going to struggle in certain gamesAs the 9700K has since inception outperformed the R7-3800X and below in all games, what is your analysis of their prowess?
